Protect Your Basement This Spring with Help from A. Maurais & Son Inc.
The importance of sump pumps can’t be overstated. Spring weather in Maine brings melting snow and heavy rainfall. These wet conditions can quickly flood your basement if you don’t take the right precautions. A. Maurais & Son Inc. provides sump pump installation, drain cleaning, and expert advice to keep your home dry and safe.
Sump Pumps Move Water Away Before It Reaches Your Living Space
A sump pump sits in a pit at the lowest point of your basement. As water enters the basin, the pump turns on and pushes it out of your home through a discharge line. This keeps water from rising into your basement. Sump pumps respond quickly during heavy rain or thawing snow, giving you a dependable defense against water damage.
Wet Spring Weather in Maine Creates a Higher Risk for Basement Flooding
Increased rainfall and melting snow put pressure on your foundation. Water builds up around your home and flows toward the lowest point—your basement. A functioning sump pump gives that water a path out. Without it, water collects indoors, causing structural damage, mold growth, and ruined belongings. A. Maurais & Son Inc. installs reliable pumps that help you stay ahead of the storm.
Floor Drains and Perimeter Drains Work Alongside Your Sump Pump
A clean drainage system helps direct water into your sump basin. Floor drains and perimeter drains collect runoff and funnel it toward the pump. When debris clogs these drains, water builds up and floods your basement. Regular cleaning removes that risk. Our team clears out clogged drains, so your system works at full capacity.
Stay Alert to Warning Signs of Drainage or Sump Pump Issues
Watch for standing water, musty smells, or damp spots along your basement walls or floors. These signs suggest your sump pump isn’t keeping up. You can also check your pump by pouring water into the pit. If it doesn’t start or sounds unusual, call A. Maurais & Son Inc. for immediate help. Our experts troubleshoot problems before they turn into major damage.
